The Social Table located at 819 W. Armitage Ave has added brunch to its cooking class/social event menu. This innovative cooking class & dining experience concept kitchen opened last year in September offering only dinner options. You can sign up for scheduled classes geared to cover specific cuisines and dishes (attendance is limited) or schedule a private event to bring a group to learn from their top notch chef instructors. It’s BYOB and staff cleans up after you so it’s bound to be a great out-of-the-ordinary activity!

LOOP

In typical Chicago fashion the weather’s been up and the weather’s been down. Speaking of down. Down below the surface of the Loop lies Chicago’s Pedway for traversing dining and shopping far from the ever-changing elements. DNAinfo.com has created a helpful interactive Pedway map that can assist you in getting around the Loop in the comfort of climate control. Follow the symbol!
